Name
editMerge under either title - should it be Thirty Mile Fire or Thirty Mile fire? And agree on the date - July 9 or 10? Hugo999 (talk) 05:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- I moved it to Thirty Mile fire, since that one is not consistently capped in sources, but then noticed that Thirtymile Fire seems to be much more common, official, and consistently capped, so moved to that. Dicklyon (talk) 05:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Dicklyon: "Thirty Mile" is much more common, per these sources:
- Please do not move articles without consensus. SounderBruce 05:37, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see that those sources indicate which is more common. Look at books: "thirtymile fire", "thirty mile fire". Dicklyon (talk) 14:18, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Molten Aluminum ? Dubious.
editPerhaps this should be reworded:
"asphyxiating them in heat so intense that it transformed a pickup truck into a pile of molten aluminum."[26]
The Pickup truck was not transformed to a puddle of molten aluminum. It was completely destroyed by fire, but to start with the truck is mostly STEEL, and there are photos of the state of the truck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.217.214.194 (talk) 09:38, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- I've actually been working on re-writing that whole section, and I agree about the molten aluminum sentence. I'll remove it. –Surachit (talk) 00:06, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
